Hi Larry, Very rugged shot. Excellent feel of the brisk wind, dampness and freesing tempratures. Great shot.
Cheers,
Hugo

Dear Mary Sue,
Hi again. I love your comments, very insightful. In a shot like this it is very important, when shooting digitally to underexpose slightly so as not to blow out the highlights. This can be analyzed, on site, by checking a histogram or a highlight clipping window. Then, in Photoshop, curves can be adjusted to bring up shadow details which have much greater lattitude. Alternatively, once highlights are clipped they cannot be restored. Yes, this was shot on a cloudy & misty morning which helped smooth out the contrast.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
Larry

Larry, you captured what I have found so difficult: to get a proper exposure when the white surf crashes against dark black rocks. This was particularly true for me in Hawaii where the sun was so bright that the white caps were nearly flourescent-bright.
I am not sure if this was shot on an overcast day (it appears so). If so, it probably helped temper the contrast in a good way.
I like the pano-style framing and subtle diagonals. You show strong wave action...can only imagine what it would look like if the seas were really in high gear!

Dear Rebecca,
Thanks for all your comments. Check out the wave crash again. It's in color but very subdued by stormy weather (taken while Hurricane Frances was raging down in Florida).
